Two dreadnoughts, at the very least.

[Twister]

Wedge, what else could the cover of ER represent? Obviously it's not the Tarawa, but it is the same class.

I'm sorry. I know nothing about the novels, remember? Plus I was just saying that for TyeDyeBoy's sake.

The fact that Sosa mentions destroying shipyards at Kilrah is what confused people in the past.

Uh, where did she say this? Or was this in the novel?

Uh, first, it wasn't orignally posted by Earthworm. Second Soso mentioned it in the WC4 novel.

Maniac's ejection pod was picked up by a dreadnaught, and he was tortured...

 

[Supdon3]

When did it ever say he was tortured by the cats?

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Prophecy Official Guide.

 

[Supdon3]

MAN! I have to get that just cause you guys keep throwing out all this freakin info i didnt know.

Blair was out of service for about 6 months, during which time the BoT took place, according to the wc3 novel he was serving as CAG of the Connie right before. BTW in ER Bear referes to Blair as "Phoenix"

 

[Earthworm]

No, he doesn't. He talks about A pilot saving the Connie, but asside from his callsing being Phoenix he never mentions any names...

Would that explain some of his... mannerisms?

 

[Supdon3]

It would explain more of his seriousness in WC4. Of course it all wore off by Prophecy

 

[Wedge009]

Not worn off. Hidden behind a lot of hot air.

 

[Earthworm]

Or maybe it's just his mid-life crisis.

Blair was wounded *at* the Battle of Terra -- he was Wing Commander (not CAG, dammit) onboard Concordia for three campaigns prior.

 

[Wedge009]

What's the difference? We first saw the term 'CAG' in WCP, and Commander Drake seemed to be doing the same job as any other Wing Commander we've seen. ie Colonel Halcyon, Colonel Deveraux, Colonel Blair, etc. The only difference I can see so far is that Commander is a navy rank.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

The CAG is a position unique to multi-wing carriers -- Commander Drake coordinated the efforts of multiple wings, each which had a seperate Wing Commander.

 

[Wedge009]

Ah, that certainly clears things up!
